RINOs hand out doom-pills to break MAGA
By Texas Hughes
Media responses to recent Democrat election wins struck me as strange. The comments ignored the fact that most contests in off-year elections are won by the party not in the White House, and that most of the elections were in areas Democrats usually carry.
There was not a meaningful voter shift to Democrats. There was a modest shift of Democrat voters toward radical candidates in deeply blue Democrat areas.
There was no shift of voters away from Republican or MAGA candidates. There was the usual weak turnout of Republican voters for non-presidential elections.
Leftist headlines and commentary exaggerated the modest shift towards radicalism among Democrat voters as evidence that the general electorate is shifting left. Utter baloney.
Lefty commentary is understandable. They are desperate for voters to suddenly embrace policies that are killing America. It’s a good tactic to pretend the bandwagon has suddenly turned left in their favor. There are always suckers who will think this is true.
But RINO commentary is equally devious.
Some Republicans and conservatives displayed a bit of unwarranted panic over losing the kinds of elections Republicans usually lose. RINO commentators seemed to embrace the leftist propaganda, portraying these elections as a smackdown of MAGA politics.
